For the past months I have been meaning to try this the  Famous Bibingka Galapong of Chef RV .  I am an avid follower of his vlog in YouTube .  I enjoy watching him cook, bake and of course his travel escapades. After a long wait I was able to try his popular delicacy. I am a lover of Filipino kakanins .. As I grew up being with my Lola going to the " palengke " (market) where they have a small store.  I often go to a Putohan as we call it where they sell varieties of kakanin: from bibingka , puto alsa , puto pulo , buchi and etc. So believe me when I say masarap it's truly " Masarap !" (Delicious)   Quality: Very Good.  If you are a follower of Chef RV 's Vlog, he does not want to make something that is tinipid.  He used quality ingredients in making the bibingka.  It's " siksik " (dense).  The amount of toppings is enough to satisfy your pallet. Taste: Not too Sweet, and I liked it. --- It's Super Masarap!♥ Price: It's kinda price...

Those happy smile, button eyes and cutesy little feet... Meet Miss Fluffy!  If you cannot afford a real Birkin bag, then get this one.  Being a lover of bags and cute things, it was love at first sight when I saw this beauty.   The bag gives luxury, charm and cuteness overload, definitely sending good vibes wherever you go.  This may be small at 25cm but will surely fit a lot of your stuff.  (Will do the what fits in my Miss Fluffy Bag next time-wink!*). Made from leather and high quality faux fur. With two interior pockets : 1 zip and 1 open.  It also comes with a detachable strap. It's a made to order bag so it might take quite a while for you to get it... but I tell you it's all worth it.   Want her to be a part of your collection?  Message me on my Facebook at Fabulousity by Chiq or Follow me on Instagram (and send me a DM there) @fabulouschq.

Care Bears  is a group of colorful teddy bears with badges on their belly.  Elena Kucharik created them in the 1980s; she's an artist for American Greetings .  When it gained popularity, it was adapted into an animated series.  The Care Bears' belly badge represents their powers. I was so into American Greeting Cards, stationery and merchandise at that time, and I never missed an episode of their TV series... In my mind, I always hear them say (up until now): " Care Bears Stare " as they unleash their badge powers.   Originally, there were 10 Care Bear characters: Bedtime , Cheer , Friend , Funshine , Good Luck , Grumpy , Harmony, Love-A-Lot , Tender Heart and Wish .  Over time, more bears were introduced. Back in the days, I never had a chance to own a Care Bear plushy .  Now that I am working, plushy pendants are so hot.  I was able to have a couple of Care Bears plushy bag pendants .   Meet my Care Bears Collection: Harmony Be...

Another fashion trend is making a comeback this Spring 2025 !  Normally plaid prints are so popular during Autumn season but this year it came out a season earlier.  From the traditional tartans to updated color combinations.  Giving it a modern twist.  Personally I love Plaids ... be it on trousers or top...  find them very versatile and stylish.  You can easily pair, layer it with any outfit.

Mules for replacement I don't know if anyone have already experienced replacing luxury brand items bought from Europe here in the Philippines.  My sister's husband recently bought a pair of Gucci mules in Italy , in her usual size.  Unfortunately the mules was too small it did not fit her.  Our plan was to sell it at a lower price so she can at least buy one here in the Philippines.  I went to Gucci Edsa Shangrila Mall and asked if they have that style in stock so my sister will know how much she we will sell her new mules.   Ms.Kath - Gucci's Sales Associate welcomed me in the store and I told her the story.  She told me that Gucci offers worldwide replacement .  I was surprised and immediately told my sister.  But my sister's mules style is not yet available here in the Philippines.  Since the replacement is only valid for 30 days, Ms Kath told me that she will send the styles that they have through Viber so I can show my sister. Fas...

For good times and bad times  I'll be on your side forever more That's what friends are for..." It's easy to be a friend when things are good, but not all will stick with you when times become rough.  True friends are those individuals who will be with you when you are facing challenges, one that understands and supports you.  Consistency and loyalty is one of the measures of true friendship.  They should be your constant.. and will stand with you, be with you through thick and thin. Being there when your friend needs you, this does not mean that see each other but making an effort to stay connected goes a long way.  Friendship does not mean you have to be together always, but the string that connects you with each other shoul...
